Thank you for your comments which are also born out by the US Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF).
For this patient a GI blockage is suspected. If a blockage is confirmed the colonoscopy may not be able to penetrate deep enough into the colon to confirm the diagnosis. In a financially lucrative, relatively safe GI procedure, and a culture of over treatment one really ponders the blurred line between medicine and creative entrepreneurship.
